About us

We are a research group that studies the effects of territorial dynamics on mobility.


The Research Group in Mobility, Transport, and Territory (GEMOTT) was founded in 1994 at the Department of Geography of the Autonomous University of Barcelona. We analyse the environmental impacts of mobility models and the social consequences in terms of cohesion and exclusion in the organisation of travel in various modes of transportation.

Our prism of analysis

Territory

We analyse the effects of territorial dynamics on mobility

Perception and use

The use and perception of space and time in the dynamics of everyday mobility

Sustainability

The environmental costs of the mobility model

Gender

The gender perspective in mobility studies

Social dynamics

The cohesion-exclusion of social groups in relation to modes of transport

Projects


From GEMOTT we carry out projects at local and international level, in the field of mobility and territory. We collaborate with companies, public administrations and social entities.
